The Colors of Africa Crochet Earrings

Whether you are a beginner or an experience crocheter these African inspired colorful earrings is a fun project to make. If you are a beginner you will learn how to make a basic granny square, you will practice how to carry the threads inside the stitches used in tapestry crochet technique, you will learn how to make simple jewelry and last but not least you will learn the colors combination from different culture.

Cut off green leaving 15 cm tail, thread the needle and join the st by going under the two loops as shown, weave in the ends on the wrong side, fasten off. Dab a tiny amount of PVA glue or craft glue to the tips of the ends to finish.

Block the square using headpins by stretching and pinning each corner to a small pillow. In some cases I pinned my piece to the back of my sofa. :-)

ASSEMBLY

Using a nose plier, open the split ring, attached the ring to any corner, connect the split ring with the earrings.
